I get an offer for buying Q+E Database from Pioneer Software and VB.

Offer is roughly half price for both products and I would like to know
if Q+E is valuable or not.

QEVB is an add-on to VB.  It allows to connect a dBase style database
to a windows application.

Application I have in head is a genealogical editor (i.e. one screen
is either one person, one family, one couple, a subtree, etc.).  Using
dBase will made my data about 3 times bigger than a text format, but 
will be enough for a 1st version or a demo.

I already tried Realizer and just did notlike the product.  You can't
re-work a screen with their screen editor (which I find very annoying)
after modification of program.  Is VB better than that?  I currently use
Windowsmaker prototyper (a good screen editor and will read back dialogs
it generates, but not the #defined label) with Zortech compiler (the
product is compiler independant and is supplied _as_a_demo_ with ZTC 3.0).

So, a short review of VB and any information about QEVB will be
welcome.

P.S.  What is that claim by MS that VB will 1000000 (1 million) lines
per minute?  Is this 1M _empty_ lines?  Is this because the compiler
only catch where are the routines first line?  Is VB slow in execution?
